Andrew, Rin, and Shiro all snapped their heads looking out the window. "You feel that don't you?" Rin asked the others.
"It's big." Andrew said as he balled his fists.
"If I had to guess I'd say it's a berserker." Shiro said standing up. "We need to go." He said as Assassin formed next to him.
"I'm coming with you." Andrew added as he stood to his feet.
"If he's going then, so am I." Gilgamesh said materializing and leaning in the corner. "I'm curious to see what heroes has been summoned."
"You won't help?" Assassin asked the fellow spirit.
"I haven't decided." The Archer said with a smirk as he looked at the servant. "Let's go Andrew." The servant said walking towards the door.
"Since when are you in charge?" The mage asked as he followed the servant to the door.
"It's the middle of the day." Rin said looking out the window. "Whoever they are, they don't care for mage law."
"Yeah." Shiro said nodding his head. "I'm going to have to beat it before anyone else gets hurt."

Andrew and Gilgamesh walked into the town center where they saw a massive gash in a building. "What did that?" He the magus asked cocking his head to the side. His eyes widened as he reached out and grabbed Gilgamesh's shirt and pulled him back before a massive man with long hair and a cloak from the hide of a lion landed in front of them.
"Unhand me!" Gilgamesh shouted at the magus before he turned his gaze on the behemoth in front of him. "What kind of weapon is that?" He asked looking at the pearly weapon that curved at the end. "I don't think it exists in my collection, so there's no way it's worth my time."
"Gil." Andrew said as his eyes widened. "Get away from him."
"Why?" The servant asked as he turned his gaze back before he realized who was in front of him. "Now I see." He said smirking at the man in front of him. "The Hero Sampson." He added with a smile. "I already fought your Greek counterpart. I wonder if you're any stronger than he is?"
"Gil, we need the others." Andrew whispered to the servant.
"Get back mongrel!" Gilgamesh shouted. "This has nothing to do with you, this is a battle between servants. If you're so worried find this animal's master."
Andrew grit his teeth but at the same time he understood the hero's logic. If he was able to find and defeat the servant in combat than Berserker wouldn't be a problem. "Fine." He said quickly. "Just make it out of this alive." He said before running away from the fighting.
"Now mongrel!" Gilgamesh shouted. "Let's see if the power of your god compares to the might of a flesh and blood deity!" He shouted as the Gate of Babylon opened behind him as weapons peered out of the light.

Andrew ran through a building following the slight trace of mana he was feeling. He could tell that Rin was nearby and getting people to safety, but he couldn't detect either Shiro or Assassin. He rounded the corner when he saw a man in a long coat and a white collar covering his throat. "You need to get out of here!" He shouted at the priest.
"I'm right where I am supposed to be my son." The man replied as he looked at Andrew's hand with the command seals on it. "And it appears you are as well." The man said reaching into his cloak and pulling out a silver sword. "I have summoned the mightiest man in all of scripture, and the enemy brings before me the man who summoned the Babylonian."
"I don't care about any of that." Andrew said as he grabbed the knife in his jacket and looked at the man. "Father, stand down now, you won't be able to win this fight, and your servant is as good as dead." The building shook from the intensity of the battle going on outside. "The King of Heroes is more than a match against someone with such a simple weakness."
The priest glared at the young man in front of him. "You stand like a true killer."
"I'd like to say that's behind me." Andrew said taking a step forward, "But clearly you aren't going to let me leave it."
"Confess your sins my child." The priest said before running forward and swinging his blade at Andrew who ducked under the blade and slashed his own but the priest was nimble enough to bend away from the attack.
"You're more than some priest." Andrew said jumping back. "An inquisitor I take it." He said as he felt a burning rage inside of him.
"I see you are not of the uninitiated." The priest replied pulling his blade back. "You can simply call me Francis." The man said with a chuckle.
"Pretty on the nose." Andrew said looking around the room for anything he could use to aid in the fight.
Outside however the battle was going as could be expected. Even though Sampson was just as strong as Hercules, he seemed to be much more aware and sane. And adding to the benefit Gilgamesh figured was that this servant wasn't protecting a worthless doll.
"Have you figured out who it is?" Assassin asked as he landed beside Gilgamesh.
"Sampson the Hebrew Hero." The blond said with a sneer. "If you plan to interrupt me this time, I won't hesitate to kill you both, killing two servants for the price of one."
"I'd rather watch you die." The man said simply as he looked up. "Your master is in there?" He asked.
"The fool went chasing after this mongrel's master. I didn't expect he'd actually find him." Gilgamesh said before Assassin left once again. "Where were we?" He asked as Berserker let out a roar and ran forward holding jawbone over his head before slamming it down on the ground. "Ah, so you're willing to fight dirty?" Gilgamesh asked as he landed on top of a street light. "I wonder, why did your master set you on a rampage in the middle of the day." He shook his head. "Nevermind, he'll be dead soon. So go ahead and show me your Noble Phantasm so I can end this battle."
Sampson roared and opened his empty eyes before charging forward as the lion on his back jumped off of him. "Babylon!" Berserker screamed.
"Is that all?" Gilgamesh asked as a wicked smile crossed his lips.

Inside of the building Andrew was punched in the face before the blade was brought down for the killing blow. "Speed times two." He said as his body sped up considerably and he dodged the knife before spinning and sinking the blade into the priest's chest. "Tell me where I can find Cornelius!" He screamed as he watched the man looked blankly at him.
"What need does the damned have for the holy of holies?" He asked as blood started to trickle out of his mouth. "You will be cursed by your own servant, your foolish decisions have damned not only you, but those closest to you."
"Tell me where he is?" Andrew asked before twisting the blade. "If you tell me now, I will make this quick, if not I won't hesitate to make you suffer for days on end." A crack in the man's mouth was heard shocking Andrew as he looked up at the man who started to foam from the mouth. "Damn it!" He screamed ripping the blade out and pushing the man onto the ground. He bent down and cleaned the blood off on the priest's robes before walking away.
"Who taught you how to do that?" Assassin asked behind Andrew.
The mage took a breath. "You aren't the only person who has blood on their hands." He said turning around and looking at the servant with a dead stare. "This is all just part of my path to revenge." He said before turning his back, he didn't walk away however. "If the man who ruined everything you loved was still alive, would you try and kill him?"
Assassin looked away from the mage. "My childhood was ended when I was just a child, it was the mistakes of a cold man that ruined the lives of everyone I cared about. After a while I realized I had become just like him when I was responsible for killing the only person alive who cared about me."
"And if you could kill the man who caused all of that pain?"
"I did." Assassin replied as he looked away from the mage. "It won't be what you expect."
"That won't stop me!" He snapped back. "Emiya, and Tohsaka have been trying to stop me since they met me, but I am what I am."
"And what are you?" Assassin asked.
Andrew pointed at the corpse on the ground in front of him. "You already know what I am." He said before Gilgamesh appeared in the room with them.
"Guess I shouldn't underestimate you mongrel." The king said with a grin. "Not only did you kill the master, but he was just like Kirei."
"He wasn't." Andrew replied. "This man was too green, the men I need to kill won't be this easy to overtake." He said before turning around to walk away. "Tell my teachers I'll be back at the house." He said not turning around.
Gilgamesh turned with a smirk and vanished in front of Assassin.
